I don't know, but that tiny tail don't look like it provides much in the way of flight authority. Though the side fences probably are good for straight line, the body is possibly a lifting body, have to see under neath. I don't suppose your gonna be doing Immelmann's and cobra's with it.
"umm, yeah Bob, we're pretty sure it'll fly. Maybe."
